Thrifty Three Favs

It's that time of the month where I write down my favourite "Thrifty Three Favs". August was a fantastic month for me. It saw me get a few bargains but it also saw me win a few fabulous thing's which as a family we adore. I also got a few complementary thing's which were a nice gesture. Without further a do, this is my 3 favs of last month!

-------------------------------------------------------

Favorite bargain: Last month saw me get some fantastic bargains but the best bargains I felt I got were from Hawkins Bazaar. For a while now I have been looking to redo Maxwell's room. I wanted to change it from Disney Car's to a rainbow, retro room. After looking around on Google, I found some fantastic pieces on Hawkins Bazaar which I knew would look fantastic in Maxwell's room and they were priced in the sale cheaply. I managed to purchase Maxwell some cool Clown trinkets which were priced at just 99p and I found an amazing retro bird pecker which was priced at just £1.50. I love all thing's wooden and bright and these look fantastic on Maxwell's bedroom table.

Favorite freebie: Freebies were lacking a little last month but I did have a lovely win that Maxwell simply adored. Last month over on Instagram I won a lovely cushion - a London bus one. Maxwell is obsessed with London buses so it was a lovely gift to receive. Along with my win, Maxwell was also sent a London tray which was also a really kind gesture. I love it when company's go that little extra mile and can be ever so thoughtful.

Favorite gift: Last month, I complained to a few people about rubbish service. If the service is not great, I find honesty is the best key. If you do not voice your concerns about bad service then nothing will be done and other customers will end up having equally poor service. Last month, Ben and I went on a date night and treated ourselves to a meal. The meal was okay however our started was lacking any preparation and what we ordered did not look what we ordered on the menu. The floor of the restaurant was also dirty and I had a chip in my glass which was not great. I took to social media and let the brand know about the problem, a few weeks after I received a £30 gift card in the post to go back and have a meal. It was a nice gift and it was great to see that the company were trying to make amends.

Thanks for sharing your thrifty three faves, I to agree that giving feedback to companies/products is the best way to change things - if noonecomplains how will they ever know you were unhappy/dissatisfied
